The cake is a lie

Twitter ate my blog

Twitter

Rare as my posts are, Twitter has been siphoning whatever exhibitionist energy I have. You can follow me on Twitter if you’re interested in my day-to-day comments.

Why Twitter? Few years ago, I had an idea for a “one-liner blog” where one would post short one-line thoughts multiple times per day. Few months later, Twitter came along. Although it’s not exactly how I envisioned such a creation, it is useful nonetheless. In day-to-day usage, I get about 30% of my interesting news bits from various people I follow on Twitter. It’s great for getting a live real-life feed of what’s going on with the tubes, conferences, weather, sports, politics, or whatever you happen to be interested in — so long as you follow people who have similar interests as yourself.

Twitter has a lot of unspoken etiquette (tweetiquette) and it’s not for everyone, but I like it. It has a very small commitment threshold (unlike blog posts) and you feel more like part of a community.

I’ll still keep blogging, but I just wanted you to know where I’ve been.
